YouTube star Connor Franta has decided to part ways with the YouTube’s biggest collab channel to date, Our 2nd Life. He has been an integral part of the group for more than two years. No need for all of the teen girls out there to fret, Franta promises fans he will not be leaving YouTube permanently, but will just stick to making videos on his own personal YouTube account.

“Honestly, thank you all for everything,” Franta commented on his channel. “This has been such a great experience & I don’t regret it for a second. This channel, the family it has created & all the guys will forever be apart of my life – don’t worry about that. This is far from the end.”

In the farewell video titled “A New Chapter,” Franta says that his decision to leave the band has been tough but well thought out and for his own happiness.

“I hope you guys understand & will continue to support me through this difficult decision. I love you all so much,” Franta said.
